Wanted: Links to informative bicycle articles

I'm looking for links to articles and catalogues etc for older race bikes, around 1950- 2005

Just useful things, like a lot of you I'm always looking on here, ebay etc for nice unusual frames and bits, and to be honest just enjoy researching old bikes for endless hours
these are some of the links I use,

Hi how about vintage copies of cycling weekly always was brill for stuff your after not like the comic it is now?

theres a website with alot of different catalogues(mostly Japanese manufacturers I think), it has all the different Araya rims. I cant remember the URL tho, sorry!

will try the cycling weekly... ta

Have you not checked out the (very) extensive scans etc on retrobike, the road bits cover a fair section of 60s/70s/80s stuff and some of the road members were actually around racing in the 60s so know a shed load regarding that era onwards. A few are/were frame builders in their own right. One worked at Raleigh Special Products IIRC.

Just found a box in the loft with dozens of copies of Cycling Weekly from 1948 - 1951, they are no use to me, do you think anyone here would be interested before they go to the tip?

Oops technically they are copies of "Cycling - The Cyclist's Weekly Newspaper", not quite sure if that's the same thing or not!!

Me! Love reading about domestic competition and seeing nice photography featuring nice bikes. A million miles away from what we get from CWeakly nowadays...
